Jason Isringhausen Says He Did Not Plead To Not Be Traded

Jason Isringhausen has told Alderson his preference is to remain with the Mets and not be dealt before the trading deadline. But the veteran reliever was irate about a headline suggesting he had pleaded with the GM not to trade him.

"I never [bleeping] said one thing about, 'Please don't trade me,' " Isringhausen said. "Yeah, I talked to Sandy, but I never once said, 'Please don't trade me.' I said I'd like to stay here. I'd never plead with anyone about staying anywhere."
